Demos for Double Science TCs
If you are doing your microteaching in one of your sciences classes then you will be doing a demo in the other science class.
Expectation:
It will be treated like the micro-teaching assignment in terms of all of the expectations. (See marking rubric on wiki)
1. You will create a micro-lesson for a demo: i.e. with a BLM for students and with teacher notes on one side to explain to the novice what the demo shows. Demo Worksheet

Student worksheet- could include places for observations and questions to be answered during the demo or as follow-up
2. You will “perform” the demo to the class and your demo peers will provide feedback,
3. You will write a reflection of your performance and input provided by your peers based on the questions provided. (Similar to microteaching)
Presentation
The various dates will be determined and posted on the class calendar.
Demos will take place between January and the beginning of practicum 2. (one or two per day)
Tips for a Successful Demo:
1 Use demo books, peers, Youtube, other teacher websites, etc., for ideas. Pick one that fits as a demo and would NOT be better done as a student activity either because it is dangerous, or too hard or complicated for students. (Your instructor will have done a sample demo for you and posted it on the class wiki)
2. Practice it to be sure it works.
3. Write it up (keep an eye on the marking rubric) so you are sure that your presentation to the class has all of the components required.
Here are some ideas about demonstrations to consider:
The following rating scale/evaluation rubric will help to make sure you have included all of the important components in your demo Your peers will provide you with feedback (similar to what your peers did in microteaching) and you should also complete the directed reflection. One week following your demo, you should submit the following to the instructor:
one sheet double sided containing teacher and student notes
MOM Rainbow. Grade 10- C2.6: Classifying some common stubstances as acidic, basic, or neutral (acid-base indicators). C3.6: Describe the process of acid-base neutralization
Grade 12 - Redox ReactionsF2.1 use appropriate terminology related to electrochemistry, including, but not limited to: half-reaction, electrochemical cell, reducing agent,oxidizing agent, redox reaction, and oxidationnumber F2.2 conduct an inquiry to analyse, in qualitative terms, an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction F3.1 explain redox reactions in terms of the loss and gain of electrons and the associated change in oxidation number
